So I started this one post in my head, but apparently it's not ready to come out of my fingers yet. I wanted to write about gender, and it's the most massive subject in the world.
Anyway, yesterday I went to see Night Watch, a movie about good vs. evil (or light vs. dark) in an Apocolyptic battle over the world. Original, no? Okay, not exactly, but I did enjoy it and I wouldn't even mind seeing the sequel, "Day Watch" (and the next one "Dusk Watch"-I kid you not). The idea is that there are these "Others," though I can't tell how you become one. On one hand it seems like you're born one, but I think they also explain that you can become one if you just go through something amazing, like fighting off a vampire attack. Or maybe doing something amazing just brings out your inherent Other-nature that might not have appeared otherwise. Anyway, after that you seem to get a power, and then you have to decide whether to use it to fight for the Light or the Dark, who are perfectly matched, until The One comes who will be more powerful than anyone (not played by Keanu Reeves in this movie) and tip the balance.
The main thing that was hard for me to buy in the movie was my usual question--why would anyone but the most crazy people choose the dark? I mean ( Spoilers start here... )
So my review is basically that I enjoyed it and got what I expected to get even though the storyline was pretty confusing and didn't really hold together.
Oh, and speaking of the dark side, somebody stole my InStyle and I'm really annoyed.
Also, RIP Don Knotts and Darrin McGavin, two guys in shows I like. The Night Stalker was my first "favorite show" when I was in kindergarten or first grade, and I have a big thermometer with Barney Fife on it in my office that my brother gave me. ::sigh::
